Coffee helps societies function. The nuance of having coffee has pervaded society to the extent that almost any venture can be attempted with the help of coffee – such is the strength of the unspoken symbol of peace and friendship.

You need to ask a girl out? Get a coffee together.

Business meeting? How about over a coffee.

An invitation to make love? Want to come in grab some “coffee”?

Awkward situation? Say you need a coffee.

Need uni students to do anything? Coffee!

You get the picture.

Your community needs coffee. Therefore, that coffee barista with the dirty hands… He is a beverage priest, a grassroots guardian of society. Be kind to him.

Tests, assignments, transcripts, presentations, speeches, surgery, operating vehicles. These silly mortal endeavours become nothing. For four hours you are a demigod. Your concentration level will increase. You will do things faster and you will stay awake.

You might develop an addiction though. On the bright side, with that addiction come good grades.

Don’t take my word for it. Grab a long black. No sugar. Smell the odour of exploited nations, taste the bitter honey, drink up.
